Rodney Martin

Martin reminds me how brutally unforgiving sprinting really is. A Las Vegas kid who became a three-time All-American at South Carolina and rewrote the school's indoor and outdoor 200 m records clearly had rare gifts, and his high school football background hints at an all-around athlete. In a sport decided by hundredths of a second, sustaining that level of output is the true test of nerve. He may not carry a flashy global resume, but I have honest respect for athletes who pour everything into one lane and run it down. That single-minded commitment is something I quietly admire.
